Chapter 46 No Debt Anymore
"Clap!"
A clear and loud slap suddenly sounded in the restroom.
Without precaution, William felt his left face burning and his ears buzzing.
Mary's eyes were full of tears. She shook off William's hand and sneered at him, "William, this slap is for the humiliation you gave me that night! From now on, we don't owe each other anymore! I won't badger you anymore. Please stay away from me!"
After that, with her hands on the wash basin, Mary lowered her head and trembled all over.
Hearing that, William closed his eyes hard and took a deep breath. Then he opened his eyes again with an indifferent expression. "Mary, it's me who hurt you. I will promise you whatever you want except for love and marriage. I owe you this time. Please remember."
Then William turned around slowly and carried his back to her, "Kevin and Jane will be here soon. Hurry up to handle yourself well."
Mary raised her head and tears were welling up in her eyes. The blurry back of William shrank slowly in her eyes until it disappeared.
With a click, the door was closed. Standing at the door of the restroom for a long time, William didn't move. He frowned and clenched his fists, indicating that he was in extreme pain. 'Mary, I'm sorry.'
Jane and Kevin reached Floor 32 at the last second of eight o'clock.
The weird atmosphere made Jane frown.
It was a normal state. The CEO was working in the office, and Mary was scribbling in front of the desk. However, it was a cold and depressing atmosphere.
"Kevin..." Jane quietly approached Kevin and asked, "Do you feel the atmosphere in the office is strange?"
Kevin frowned. He certainly felt that there was something unusual between the CEO and Mary, but there were some things that he shouldn't ask them. "How dare you mind business of Boss?!" "I..." Jane pouted and said, "I'm just worried about Sister Mary."
"Just mind your own business," Kevin shook his head, threw a pile of folders, and said to Jane, "Sort out these documents. They are in urgent need."
"What?!" Seeing this, Jane sat back at the desk with a sad face and stopped talking.
In the evening at the beginning of Summer, the wind was a little hot. The people in the community were talking and laughing happily.
Mary rode her scooter to the convenience store where she worked part-time. She hadn't spoken to William for a long time, and even Victor hadn't contacted her too much for avoiding any gossip. Her life seemed to return to the previous state before marriage.
But every time she thought of that night and how William took her virginity, she felt in a trance. She wondered if that slap was too easy for William.
"Peter, it's you again." Mary pushed the door open and forced a smile.
"Sister Mary!" Seeing her, Peter looked worried and asked, "Are you okay, Sister Mary?"
"Not bad."
"I saw you fall at the gate of the hospital on TV. I was so worried about you," Peter said indignantly. "Those reporters have gone too far!" "Ha ha," said Mary with a smile, "I was too careless. I don't care about them."
"Sister Mary, you are too kind to be bullied by them."
Mary didn't say anything. If she was really a good person, she wouldn't have let the security personnel drive the reporters out of the community.
"Peter," said Mary, "Tonight is the last time I come to our store for the part-time job. You should take good care of yourself in the future."
"What..." Peter wanted her to stay very much, but he still said, "Sister Mary, you should take good care of yourself in the future too. Don't forget me..."
"Yes, I won't forget you." Mary smiled and rubbed Peter's hair.
In the Love Bar music was dynamic, and people were cheering and talking.
"Stop drinking." In the private box, Lucas grabbed the wine glass from the hand of William and said. "I just came back after paying a home visit. I was thinking about you would welcome me, but I didn't expect that you would ask me to drink with you!"
"It's the same." Then, William took the glass from Lucas's hand and said, "Drink it. Drink this glass. It's a welcome for you."
"Look at yourself, William!" Lucas frowned and said, "Since I came in, you've already drunk and said nothing else."
"What do you want me to say?" Shaking his glass, William stared at the bright red liquid and said.
"Tell me where you went the other day and why you drank alone!"
"Norway." Taking a sip of wine, William said, "I went to Norway with Frank."
"You..." "What did you do by going there?" Lucas asked nervously, grabbing the arm of William.
"What are you worried about? We haven't got our marriage license," said William, patting away Lucas's hand.
"Swoosh..."
As soon as Lucas breathed a sigh of relief, he heard William continue, "But we have prepared well. We will emigrate, get our marriage certificate and get married in a year." "William!" Lucas stood up at once, "I think you are really crazy!"
"Yeah, I'm crazy." Without refuting, William drank up the wine in his glass and said, "It's better to go to Norway than to suffer here."
"Suffer? Why are you suffering?" "Haven't all the problems in the company been solved?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah." Then William poured another glass of wine. The red wine, which used to be sweet, now only left endless bitterness in its mouth. "Then why are you suffering?" With an angry look on his face, Lucas asked, "Do you really plan to go to Norway?"
"Yes."
"It has been seven or eight years, right?" Lucas laughed angrily. "I've been persuading you all the time. you don'listen to me, I can do nothing about it. "Well," Lucas
sneered, "Then I should wil net
you
and Frank a happy life for a hundred years."
"Thank you, man." William raised his glass and gulped it down.
"You're welcome!" Lucas looked at him coldly and also raised his glass to drink up.
The two people in the box drank one glass after another.
Seeing that he was almost drunk, Lucas picked up the phone and wanted to make a call to Mary. Like last time, he wanted to let Mary pick him up and create a chance for the two. "I'll call Mary and ask her to pick you up. Don't drink anymore!" Said Lucas.
William frowned, but didn't refuse.
"Du, du, du..."
Mary picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Mary," said Lucas. Since last time, he had changed the way he called Mary, "Well, William is drunk again. Could you please pick him up home?"
Mary stood in the convenience store and saw people coming and going in front of Love Bar.
"Where are you now?"
"Love Bar, It's still the bar we met last time."
'You are right across the street,' Mary thought.
In the private box, William half leaned against the back of the sofa, pretending to be slightly drunk, but in fact, he pricked up his ears to listen to the sound from the phone.
Originally, he didn't hold a glimmer of hope, but when he heard the question from Mary - Where are you now? - his heart trembled. He couldn't help but look forward to it, and his ears were pricked up longer.
He couldn't help smiling when he thought that Mary would come to pick him up.
"I can't go now as I am busy." Said Mary calmly.
"But... But we are all drunk. We can't drive!"
"Then find a designated driver." Mary slightly signed, "I'm hanging up first."
"Du, du, du..."
Lucas had no choice but to take back the phone. When he turned his head, he saw the heavy sadness and disappointment in the eyes of William.
He had never seen such an expression on William's face before.
"It must be you who left without saying goodbye and made Mary angry," said Lucas. "There is such a big problem in the company. Howe can she deal with it? She will care about you after these days." Lucas patted him on the shoulder and comforted him. "Come on, let's drink. Let's drink more. Today, we don't go home."
"I raped Mary that day." While they were drinking, William suddenly spoke to Lucas.
"Puff!" Lucas spat out a mouthful of wine. He grabbed the collar of William and asked, "What the fuck are you talking about?!"
"I raped Mary that day!" William looked back at him and shouted in a low voice.
"You, you..." Lucas let go of him and said, "No wonder she doesn't come to pick you up! You deserve it! She That was his first time to have sex?"
"Yeah."
"William, are you still a human being?!" Lucas cursed.
"That was also my first time!" Hearing the sudden roar of William, Lucas was stunned and burst into laughter. "What did you say just now? The first time? Your first time is nothing!
"Lucas!" Glaring at him, William gritted his teeth and said, "I'm exhausted. Don't provoke me anymore!"
"OK, okay." Lucas stopped laughing and said seriously, "Then how did you compensate her?"
"I gave her a check."
"Sure enough, it's your style." Lucas laughed, "Is this the pain you said you are suffering?"
"Yeah."
"Why don't you consider being together with her?"
"No, I don't. I'm not interested in her."
"Bullshit!" Pointing at him, Lucas scolded, "Not interested? Then why did you look so eager when I asked her to pick you up just now?!"
"Fuck off!" William glared at him.
"I'm leaving. Let's see who will hear these words." [00] snorted, "I'm the only one who can give you advice."
"Then what do you think I should do?" William take a slip of wine and asked.
"Never give up!" Lucas stared at him and said, "You have destroyed the virginity of a girl! Why did you give her the check? It's good that she didn't beat you!"
William kept stunned and touched his left face, which was finally swollen, and felt extremely embarrassed.
"You should beg for her forgiveness with your sincerity! Besides, your contract hasn't expired yet. Do you plan to wait like this for the next few months? Never speak to her again?!" Hearing that, William thought it made sense and asked, "What if she doesn't talk to me?"
"I told you that you should never give up!" "Since you treat her well, she won't be angry with you anymore. It's a compensation for your own fault to her," said Lucas anxiously.
'Since the thing had happened and there is no other way, just do it.' "Let's go home," said William, standing up.
Lucas sat aside and snickered when
William didn't notice it. 'Bro, I can
only help you in such a way. Since you have had sex with her, why don't you go further? Just keep the
relationship with her all the tel.ne
and
maybe she will fall in love with you
and you will fall in love with her one day. Then, you don't have to go to Norway anymore.
